Real riot grrl

Just in case you thought yesterday's video was an example of the genre "riot grrl", here's the biggest "hit" by the band that almost defined the genre, Bikini Kill, which should dissuade you from that opinion. This is of course "Rebel Girl" from their album Pussy Whipped. Needless to say said album wasn't sold in Wally World :).

Kathleen Hanna, the driving force behind Bikini Kill, appears to be working as a music and art teacher nowadays. Just goes to show that being a pioneer of a new genre of music is good for nothing other than getting scalped.

Ground rules: Comments that consist solely of insults, fact-free talking points, are off-topic, or simply spam the same argument over and over will be deleted. The penguin is the only one allowed to be an ass here. All viewpoints, however, are welcomed, even if I disagree vehemently with you.

WARNING: You are entitled to create your own arguments, but you are NOT entitled to create your own facts. If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
